LUNCH wrapped up uneventfully, leaving team Yunyue feeling like they'd missed a chance to make headway. Playing their assigned roles, they knew they'd have to rely on subtle interactions to uncover the information they needed to stop Jack the Ripper. Yet the quiet meal hadn't brought them any closer to understanding who on board might be Jack the Ripper or Sherlock Holmes. Since not all passengers had dined at once, there were still people they hadn't seen, including, perhaps, members of the opposing team.
That didn't mean they hadn't kept a close eye on the other passengers in the dining car. In fact, that's exactly what they focused on throughout lunch—except for Su Yuqi, who had her attention on the waitstaff. They'd agreed earlier that she would handle observing the train's staff, as she was the only one with access to areas off-limits to regular passengers.
